- After their star melts down, a ragtag esports team recruits a dorky 33-year-old.
- Program recaps the basic knowledge about Mars normally covered in high school.
- To celebrate the Apollo moon landing's 50th anniversary, Professor Brian Cox and Dara O Briain travel to where the historic Apollo 11 mission began - Cape Canaveral in Florida. They hear first hand from astronaut general Charlie Duke what it was like to guide Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin to the surface of the Moon in the Lunar Lander and how he followed in their footsteps three years later. They also look at the most exciting new developments and, with privileged access, they broadcast from the top of launch tower that is being prepared for crewed missions and from the assembly line of a spacecraft factory. They are joined by astrophysicist and medic Dr Kevin Fong and mathematician Dr Hannah Fry, who explore the latest developments in human space flight - from cutting-edge spacewalk technology to a future Mars buggy.
- Since the first star lit up the universe, they have been engines of creation. Professor Brian Cox reveals how, ultimately, stars brought life and meaning to the universe.
- A space mission discovers the dramatic history of the Milky Way. Professor Brian Cox reveals how our galaxy endured multiple collisions as rival galaxies fought for survival.
- It's the ultimate question: why are we here? Cutting-edge space missions take us back 13.8 billion years to the very beginning - the origin of the Universe.
- The history of discovery of gold deposits in California and Nevada and the diverse geological processes the produced the deposits are described.
- The story of how stars were made by the Universe and how Stars then went on to engineer everything else in that very universe. They changed the Universe by spawning further generations of stars, then planets and eventually the building blocks of life.
- Is our solar system unique? Since the first discovery of a planet orbiting another star, some 280 alien solar systems have been identified. It's only by looking at solar systems far beyond our own, that we can understand how remarkable our universe is.
- Ancient Aliens is counting down the top ten alien petroglyphs around the world, from strange, human-like figures to flying craft and carvings of what appear to be astronauts. Could these mysterious carvings provide a record of extraterrestrial visitation?
- From catastrophic weather events to deadly pandemics and historic disasters, witness the resilience of humanity in the face of unimaginable chaos.
- One day, a cosmic disaster will make life on Earth impossible. To survive, we must find a new home amongst the stars. Scientists are already developing new propulsion systems to take us to these distant worlds.
- There is a hellish planet in our solar system; covered in thick dense clouds and roasted by colossal temperatures. Incredibly this is a vision of Earth's future. To understand how our world will be destroyed we need to look at Earth's evil twin Venus.
- Our Moon is stranger than you think, and we reveal its incredible secrets. Can we thank the Moon for life on Earth? What explains the mysterious tunnels beneath its surface? Is a lunar base the key to humanity's future in space?
- For years, scientists suspected that the oceans came from molecules delivered to Earth from distant stars by asteroids, but a new discovery suggests that their true origins may be more exotic.
- There's a mysterious force you can't see or touch, but it affects everything in the universe. Magnetism has shaped our cosmos, and without it, Creation would simply disintegrate. We follow scientists trying to understand how this strange force works.
- This documentary is about the end of the Cassini-Huygens space-research mission commonly called 'Cassini'. This was a collaboration between NASA, the European Space Agency (ESA), and the Italian Space Agency (ASI) to send a space probe to study the planet Saturn and its system, including its rings and natural satellites. From its launch in October 1997 to nearly 20 years later in September 2017, the craft has nearly run out of fuel and reached the end of its original and extended missions. 'Horizon' (BBC) visits some of the main scientists working on the 'Cassini' program, and find out their roles and discoveries in this mission. Finally, they meet at a special farewell ceremony at the 'NASA - Jet Propulsion Laboratory' for Cassini's 'Grande Finale'.
